My bed is my sweet escape. It always has been. As My bed is my sweet escape. It always has been. As an enneagram 9 (if you know, you know), comfort is hugely important to me, especially where I sleep! So this room is (in a perfect scenario):
• relatively kid-free (meaning toys and snacks)
• usually clutter-free because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to sleep
• often has water + a snack on the bedside table (both sides)
• where the bedding is always linen because it’s honestly the best and I can’t ever go back to anything else now

With the help of @magiclinen we’ve now got our very favourite linen bedding and I’m sharing 4 reasons to love linen on the blog today. I even included tips on how to care for it (spoiler alert: linen is super low maintenance).

Would you (or have you) tried linen bedding?
Last month I checked out @improvecanada and today Last month I checked out @improvecanada and today I’m sharing some of the showrooms I visited in a blog post. There are 350, so I’m giving a small breakdown of some of the kinds of things you can find at Improve to help with your next home project! It’s all on the blog (link in my bio) but I’ve also tagged a few here so scroll on through!

I’m going to visit @improvecanada as we’ll be sourcing a few things for our house there - can’t wait to show you more!
We wrapped up week 1 of 3 (haha...sure) of online We wrapped up week 1 of 3 (haha...sure) of online learning and we’re all losing it a little. Things that are helping: pretending that we’re in the Mystery Machine, headed for a campground with a mystery to solve! Jude says the camp counsellor is pretending to be a ghost while Luca was busy getting “Honey” into her sleeping bag for the night. And then a pirate showed up, so this story is really getting good 😂

@playmobil is honestly a life changer because the kids get to build AND use their imagination. It’s a win-win, and let’s face it, we could all use a little win these days.

How are you all coping with kids at home?
Why yes, this is exactly what my dining room table Why yes, this is exactly what my dining room table looks like right now. No, there aren’t markers, papers, toys, food, crumbs and tears on it. Nope. Nope. Nope. None of the above. Everything’s cool and calm over here, folks.

(If it’s not abundantly clear, I am joking.)
What does your Monday morning look like today? We’re over here prepping for online learning (note computer on dining room table) and I’m using our @playosmo to get our kids engaged in some math and language activities before we really get going. Every time I post about our Osmo, I’m asked: “do you really like it?” And my answer is always “YES!” I mean, just look at these kiddos. Jude is obsessed with the tangram and Luca loves sounding our words - he was trying to figure out whether to use ‘k’ or ‘c’ for ‘cat’ here. To them, they’re “playing”...but we all know what’s REALLY going on! #unboxingosmo #osmosocialclub
Well it would seem that I just CANNOT figure out r Well it would seem that I just CANNOT figure out reels, but I’m not letting that stop me. I made one showing you the materials and steps to make this super easy ornament storage so would you go watch it, pretty please?

I’ve been using this method of ornament storage for 7 years and it all started with a cardboard box, some red cups and a single layer. A few years later I upgraded the system to multiple layers, used foam board and white cups and voila! Scroll over to see what I mean.

Would you try this? It’s super easy and you can probably still go ahead and just use old cardboard and whatever cups you have on hand. It’s the best thing I ever did for my holiday decor!! Just make sure you use double sided tape or hot glue to attach the cups - loose cups are no bueno!

If you do this, show me, ok? I wanna see everyone put away their ornaments with no breakage! 🙌
Ready for lots of THIS over the next couple of wee Ready for lots of THIS over the next couple of weeks...but with a puppy in the middle of it all. We’re picking up Taco on Friday so prepare yourself for puppy pictures ALL over the place.

Also: I’ve been feeling uninspired lately and have taken a little break from both posting and consuming when it comes to social media. I’m trying to soak up the holiday magic, read things other than captions (as I write this that seems weird), and even writing more things down.

This time of year always makes me reflective - less because it’s the end of a calendar year and more because it’s my birthday in 9 days. Yes. It’s on the 25th. Yep. Christmas Day. No, seriously. Yeah, Christmas baby! I don’t mind it now, but I didn’t like it as a kid. Oh you know someone who also has a birthday on (or very close to) Christmas! Cool! <— that was just me reacting to like every single conversation ever about having a birthday on December 25th. 😂
I’m still thinking about these adorable little @ I’m still thinking about these adorable little @tubicenlighting lamps that you just touch to turn on and off. And this cutie little door all decked out with a smart doorbell and lock. And the beautiful blue kitchen by @remodelcanada.ca. And all of the vanities from @canaromatoronto. And this gorgeous hardwood flooring from @coswickcanada.ca.

Can you believe this was all under one roof? @improvecanada has 350 showrooms and it was so much fun seeing how many we could get to yesterday.

I’ll be sharing lots more about @improvecanada in the coming months, but if you’re curious and want to go see it for yourself, they’re open! You can call and book an appointment or even have a customer service rep help you make an appointment at showrooms suited to what you’re looking for. Pretty great, right?

So I made a thing and I’m totally in love!! Now So I made a thing and I’m totally in love!! Now I just need to gather all of the boys for an adorable family photo. Christmas miracle, maybe?

I made these sweaters for all of us last weekend using my @officialcricut Joy and now I may need to start personalizing a LOT more shirts around here! It was my first time using infusible ink and I love how the sweaters stays super soft! I may just be wearing this for the rest of the year!

O.S. If it wasn’t clear, our last name is Murray 😆

Have you made matching Christmas sweaters? What would be on yours if you did? # ad #cricutmade

The Friday Five: Print This!

The Friday 5 - The Learner ObserverGood day ladies and gents!

Keeping it short today and bringing you five prints that kind of speak for themselves.  After yesterday’s post, I’m feeling like I want to frame all the pretty things and put them up around the house.  Who doesn’t love looking at pretty things, right?

Here are this week’s picks:

PR-3204

Classic Made by Girl prints.  Love them all.

 .

theeverygirl_prints2_faith_1024x1024From The Everygirl’s newly launched shop. Such truth.

.

comewhatmayweb

Beauty.  And on sale for $5 at The Painted Arrow.

.

Freebie_Wall_art_1These are all free at Smitten on Paper.  Yep.  All.

.

Snow-black

Ok this may look familiar… I made it.  And 9 others.  This was my fave!

.

Lauren is on a Friday Five hiatus because she’s super busy with awesome projects like making an incredible music video for her Silhouette Giveaway (A MUST WATCH), these painted cork coasters and doing good on a grand scale.  Seriously, she’s amazing.

I hope you find yourself surrounded by pretty things and heartwarming words this weekend.

Are you crafty? Do you know someone who is? Or may Are you crafty? Do you know someone who is? Or maybe you’re like me and you like to think you’re crafty but lack the patience to take out a whole bunch of things to make one tiny craft? Well then I have the thing for you. Meet the @officialcricut Joy! It’s tiny but mighty, and you can just have it casually sitting on a shelf waiting to be used when inspiration strikes because it takes up basically no room at all! I made these labels using mine, and you can swipe to see another easy project you can make with a Cricut Joy. It’s the perfect little gift! I even wrote a blog post about why I think so. I’ll share another Cricut project with you later this week!! # ad #cricutmade
